Present Like a Pro: The Field Guide to Mastering the Art of Business, Professional, and Public Speaking

It was the second year of veterinary technician school and I had to give my first five minute speech about animal sheltering. This was a topic close to my heart because I am a cat behavorist and having worked with shelter cats for more than five years. However, I have aspergers and it is hard for me to communicate with a group of people or to communicate my message effectively. I thought that I would never be able to.I read this Present Like a Pro before vet tech school and noticed that it more than prepared me for the day that I had to give the speech. I ran through the book again while in vet tech school to reread some of the tips it provided on giving a solid presentation. I got a 97% on my final speech and my teacher was impressed how far I came.You see... I avoided every speech that was assigned in high school and middle school because I was too scared and shy to present to people. I thought I could never do it. But by reading this book and a few other communication books like Speak Strong by Meryl Runion, I was prepared to give it my all.

This book is a bit outdated. It is an okay guide for basic knowledge and tips on presenting. The layout is easy to follow and the information is organized well. I just wish it was a more inspiring book.

Great book, easy to read. Best if read as an add on to Public Speaking courses

I Make presentations every quarter. This was helpful but on TED.come also follow Simon Sinek;s The Golden Circle and Nancy Duarte's The Structure of Great Talks both I highly recommend
